When my son, Cameron, came to me with the idea for ‘States made out of food,’ it was his mention of ‘New Pork’ that got the ball rolling. So, although New York is the last State in our Foodnited States series, it was the first that had a name, and was the inspiration for the entire project.

New York is also my birth State and my wife’s and parent’s home State — so there are a lot of reasons why NY was saved for last.

We never imagined that producing these silly-named States made of food would be so well-received, and that it would be enjoyed by so many people. Thank you, everybody that’s been following this project.

But, do not fret, loyal Foodnited States fans… this is far from the end. The project will live on in various forms… including a complete Foodnited States map that you can hang on the wall of your choice, and each State available individually in various forms. Because, much like the actual United States, the Foodnited States is all about capitalism.

So, again… Thank you, thank you. Stay tuned for more Foodnited States news on Instagram, here at Foodiggity.com, and our other social media channels. F-S-A!! F-S-A!!

Anyone who’s been stopping by Foodiggity over the past few years, already knows that we hold a special place in our heart for the McDonald’s McRib.

Not that I’d actually ingest one… it’s just that the sandwich, which I once referred to as ‘McDonald’s most egregious acts of culinary terrorism,’ provides wonderful material for a website such as ours.

Now, after some controversy arose from what looked like fiberglass insulation being identified as a pre-cooked McRib, McDonald’s took action to help dispel the McConspiracy.

Recently, McDonald’s actually invited a few skeptics to their pork processing center to see how a McRib is made. And, to Foodiggity’s and anyone who’s ever seen a McRib’s surprise — there is actually some quality pork involved, and no fiberglass anywhere. Still do not want.
